This Letter is in response to the Notice of Violation and Assessment of Civil
Penalty for Violation of N.C.G.S. 90 A-47.2 and 15A NCAC 8F.0201, Case #: OV 97-
090.
The Griffin Outdoor Farm, Facility # 82-483, was a small outdoor herd of less
than 750 sows with no lagoon and was permanently depopulated in February of 1994.
The site of the original outdoor farm was developed into spray£ eld for our Tomahawk
Finishing farm in 1996.
Your letter states that notices were mailed in November 1996 and April 1997, but
we received no letters advising to submit this information to your office until the N.O.V.
dated October 31, 1997.
We try to operate in compliance with all regulations, and have nothing to hide.
Please reconsider your decision to issue a N.O.V. in this matter.

Dear Mr. Tedder:
; Tjo/V �7Y
This letter is to verify that T was on "Folly Hog Farm",
facility number 26-036, on November 20, 1996 and the farm
was empty of hogs at that time and has been empty ever
since. T have been on the farm several times since this
date, and the farm was still empty. However, the owners do
plan to restock sometime within the next year.
One of the owners, Mr. -Johnny Carter and his daughter have
completed the course and are certified wastewater treatment
operators, but through miscommunication with the other
owners of this farm, and the fact that they were out of
hogs, failed to submit the COC form.
Mr. Carter would like for all future correspondence to be
directed to him at: Johnny A. Carter
Route 48, Box 417F

Dear Hr. Steve V. Taddar,
This latter is in raferan`.y to Case 1 OV 97-714 tha Johnson
awina Farm. My name is ?,u: ra Pope and my Mjer was Harald
Sig mons, .opener and operator of Simmons Farms. On July 30, 1993
my father Massed away and my husband and I inheritad the farm.
At the time of pry father's death he had sold all of his hogs
and ;las no longer in the business of hog production.
Several months after my father's death any step dad, 4arshall
Johnson, leased the operation from me an3 had about 30 sows.
Four months after As began his hog operation, my :;pother,
Marshall's wife, was diagnosed with cancer. He began to sell
his hogs down and in .a couple of months sold out, to have more
time to taka care of any mother.
Since that time there have not baen any hogs in any of the hog
houses. This farm does not operate an animal operation or
associated animal waste management system in Cumberland County,
therefore a Certified operator is not required. We do not intend
to ever establish another hog operation on this property. He
have built our family home on this property and have no
intensions of having an animal opertion mist there.
If you have any more questions I can be reached at (910) 433-

Dear sir,
November 17, 1997.
I am Mr. Pao Xiong recently bought the Say Lee Farm. When Mr. Say
Lee ownes it, he may not designate an operator in charge of the waste
management system.
Now, the Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources
Division of Water Quality had issued a notice of violation against Mr.
Say Lee the owner then for failing to designate an operator in charge
of the waste system..
After I bought the farm from Mr. Lee, he did not tell me that there is a
form of operator in charge designation to be filled with the
WPCSOCC. And I did not do that. However, I do follow the laws just
like other farmers do. No violations occur in my farm. I did go through
and pass the waste management training course. My certificate
number is 21550.
Mr. Lee was gone and I, the new owner, received the notice. I did call
Mr. Shannon Langley at [phone] ext. 581 to see how am I
going to do with this notice. He said I should responsible for the
notice, but I may fill the waiver of right form and write to explain to you
why.
As a new biginner of 5 children, 'I really can not afford it. Therefore,
please reconsider this assessed civil penalty. I appreciate your help.
Thank you.

Subject: Removal of Registration
Facility Number 82-483
Sampson County
This is to acknowledge receipt of your request that your facility no longer be registered as an active animal
waste management system per the terms of 15A NCAC 2H.0217. The information you provided us indicated that your
operation's animal population does not exceed the number set forth by 15A NCAC 2H .0217, and therefore does not
require registration for a certified animal waste management plan.
Under 15A NCAC 2H .0217, your facility is deemed permitted if waste is properly managed and does not
reach the surface waters of the state. Any system determined to have an adverse impact on water quality may be
required to obtain a waste management plan or an individual permit. You are reminded that a discharge of wastes to the
surface waters of the state will subject you to a civil penalty up to $10,000 per day.
Should you decide to increase the number of animals housed at your facility beyond the threshold limits listed
below, you will be required to obtain and implement a certified animal waste management plan and notify the Division
of Water Quality prior to stocking animals to that level. Threshold numbers of animals that require certified animal
waste management plans are as follows:
Swine 250
Confined Cattle 100
Horses 75
Sheep 1,000
Poultry with a liquid wastes tem 30,000
If you have questions regarding this letter or the status of your operation please call Sue Homewood of our staff

Case #: OV 97-090
Dear Wendell Murphy:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and a notice of a civil penalty assessed against
Murphy Family Farms in the amount of $500.00. This assessment is based upon the following
facts:
Murphy Family Farms operates an animal operation and associated animal waste
management system in Sampson County.
As of January 1, 1997, in accordance with N.C.G.S. 90 A-47.2 and 15A NCAC 8F.0201
a certified operator in responsible charge is required to operate the subject animal waste
"management system.
In accordance with 15A NCAC 8F .0201(a), the owner of each animal operation having
an animal waste management system must submit a letter to the Certification Commission,
Division of Water Quality (DWQ), Technical Assistance and Certification Group, which
designates an Operator in Charge with the appropriate type of certification. This letter
must be signed by the owner and the certified operator and be submitted to the
Certification Commission by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date.
In November, 1996 and April, 1997, DWQ mailed notices to all animal waste management
facilities who had not designated an operator with the DWQ.
P.O. Box 29535, Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 Telephone [phone] Fax [phone]
An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10%a post -consumer paper

Murphy Family Farms failed to designate an appropriately certified wastewater treatment
operator in responsible charge of the subject animal waste management system, in
accordance with 15A NCAC 8F .0201(a).
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Murphy Family Farms
violated or failed to act in accordance with -the requirements of N.C.G.S. 90 A-47.2 and 15A
NCAC 8F.0201. A civil penalty of not more than $1,000 per day may be assessed against a
person who is required but fails to designate an appropriately certified wastewater treatment
operator as required by N.C.G.S. 90 A-47.5 and 15A NCAC 8F.0500.
Based upon the above facts and conclusions of law, I hereby assess Murphy Family Farms
a $500.00 civil penalty for this violation of N.C.G.S. 90 A-47.2 and 15A NCAC 8F.0201
pursuant to the authority delegated to me by N.C.G.S. 90 A-47.2 and 15A NCAC 8F.0201.
Please find attached another Operator in Charge designation form. Please complete this
form and return it to:
WPCSOCC
Division of Water Quality
P.O. Box 29535
Raleigh, NC 27626-0535
If the aforementioned operator designation form is not at the above address within 30 days
of your receipt of this notice, you will be subject to further civil penalties of up to $1,000 for each
day that the operator in charge designation is not submitted. You may contact DWQ's Training
and Certification Group at [phone] for information about designating a certified operator.
Within thirty -days receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment
to the attention of.-

Mr. Steve W. Tedder
Water Quality Section Chief
Division of Water Quality
P.O. Box 29535

or
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed
justification for such request:
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the
reasonableness of the amount of the penalty and is not the proper procedure for
contesting the accuracy of any of the statements contained in the assessment letter.
Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such

a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation that there are no factual or legal issues in dispute. You
must execute and return to this office the attached waiver and stipulation form and a
detailed statement which you believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G. S. 14313-282.1(b)
were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting
from the violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining
necessary remedial actions.
Please submit this information to the attention of:
,%-Ir. Stere W. Tedder
Water Quality Section Chief/DWQ
P.O. Box 29535
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535
OR
3. Submit a written request for an administrative hearing:
If you wish to contest any portion of the civil penalty assessment, you must request
an administrative hearing. This request must be in the form of a written petition to
the Office of Administrative Hearings and must conform to Chapter 150B of the
North Carolina General Statutes. You must:
File your original petition with the:
Office of Administrative Hearings
P.O. Drawer 27447

and
Mail or hand -deliver a Copy of the petition to:
Mr. Richard Whisnant

NCDENR
Post Office Box 27687
Raleigh, NC 27611

Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty days, as evidenced by a date
stamp (not a postmark) indicating when we received your response, will result in this matter being
referred to the Attorney General's Office with a request to initiate a civil action to collect the
penalty. Please be advised that additional assessments may be levied for future violations which
occur after the review period of this assessment.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Shannon Langley at [phone],

FAYETTEVILLE BEG. OFFICE
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997. The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a
designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an
Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be
submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a
certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H
.0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty.
If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please
contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office.
Examinations have been offered on an on-going basis in many counties throughout the state for
the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please
call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt of our staff at 9191733-0026.
